"Cling" follows previous singles "Punish Task" and "Texas". Written in one afternoon, the song captures passing moments of failure, intimacy, and regret, within a world that pushes for preservation despite constantly changing.

Speaking about the track, guitarist Anthony Laurence says: “The song is carved away from a mountain of first thoughts, recalling a subtractive process that aims to preserve ghosts, confuse source, and respond to material rather than direct it.”
